In reply to the discussion: If you are a pro-gun DUer, what are you doing to oppose the NRA? [View all]etherealtruth
(22,165 posts)I am largely referring to the gungeon dwellers, here.
I do acknowledge that there are some very liberal folk here that also own guns ... though, they are adamant about their "right" to owns guns... they are also quick to express agreement with most other liberal causes. They are not the ones extolling the virtues of the NRA (and there are those that have no problem expressing the sentiments that the NRA is a right wing nut job organization). With those DUers I have no problem agreeing to disagree on this subject and can enjoy our agreement on o many others. I will even acknowledge, that for you DU may be a difficult place right now. I encourage you to stay and participate.
To the Gungeoneers that can't pass up a "gun" thread (yet somehow are absent from almost all other DU conversations)... that must creep out out the gungeon in order to explain to all of us how the NRA is really a great group and provide so many wonderful services and is choc'ful'o good things .... why are you here? You have zero chance of changing minds, your lack of meaningful participation in conversations related to other liberal goals and ideas is noted ... your support of a clearly right wing lobbying group on a left leaning discussion board must be frustrating. You don't 'get good ones in" .... you pretty much convince folk that gun supporters or only "nut jobs" (very unfair to the "gun folk above, that do not share the crazy).
I suppose its better that you post here rather than a place that actually has the potential to incite folk ... but ....
